The spacious kitchen is highlighted by a large granite island, high-end appliances and a stylish bench-seat breakfast nook. A large cozy porch with wall-to-wall windows and fashionable couches, chairs and “picnic table” provides you with great views of the massive backyard and surrounding trees, making it a relaxing oasis to sip coffee or your favorite wine.

Speaking of the backyard, it’s perfect for entertaining, with a fenced, seasonal pool (with outdoor shower and bathroom), a covered wooden deck, outside patio (w/ patio set), eight-person hot tub, barbecue grill, huge lawn and a fire pit.
